Site intro

This site is for those who love and care about cold rivers, clean waters, wilderness, and the creatures that live in these places–especially wild trout. It is therefore also about preservation, conservation, and restoration of these important habits, and everything which impacts them or depends upon them. Which is to say everything, since we all live downstream of each other. In writing about rivers and streams, we also write about forests and lakes and oceans.

More often than note, these pages are also about fly fishing, an activity which has not only brought great delight to the authors, but also prompted many times of quiet listening, attentiveness, and aware of what lives above, beside, and beneath the waters where we cast flies.

Some of the material on this site has previous appeared in the Addison Independent in earlier versions. See http://www.addisonindependent.com/
